Fold changes for buds were determined by comparing the gene expression of 2d-growth buds to endodormant buds (‘2d-growth to Endo’), and fold changes for seeds were determined by comparing the gene expression of 21d C + 2d A seeds to 1d C seeds (‘21d C + 2d A to 1d C’). Common genes were then identified between buds and seeds. The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) IDs represent Arabidopsis genes used to annotate homologues of leafy spurge transcripts. Unpaired two-sample t-tests were performed; symbol “*” represents genes at a p-value < 0.1, and “**” represents genes at a p-value < 0.05.
